Uncommon Ground

You might expect a place that has a 70 percent vegetarian menu and was completely nonsmoking before it had to be to serve boring dishes made with soy milk and flaxseeds. But this coffee shop/bar/restaurant/performance space will surprise you. Brunch features decadent takes on classics like ham and cheese stuffed brioche and sage fried chicken eggs benedict. The dinner hour brings Jeff Buckley tributes and enough surprisingly good cocktails to get through them.
